RUN with parameters?

Is it possible to call RUN and send parameters to the called program?

In particular, I'm trying to pass a handle to a WinAPI object.

Of course you can pass parameters on the command line. HOWEVER, they're
always passed as strings.

Paul,

Is it this what you are looking for ?
RUN net Time \\someserver /Set /yes
just add the parameters you want to send when starting the app.
but the app will need to accept startup parameters.

or is it :
Run Someapp.exe
and then start controling it or fill some textboxes presented by Someapp ?
If this last one is the case Others might help ?
but I really doubt if this will be an easy one...

regards
christophe

It's closer to #2. I think I'll have to find another way to do this.

Hi Paul

Just curious: how do you want to RUN a WinAPI object?

What I was trying to do (maybe a dumb idea), was to have EXE1 create a mutex
and/or semaphore object, pass it to EXE2, then EXE1 quits.

I suppose I could manage something similar with a flag file, but I want to
be absolutely certain that the flag file is deleted when EXE2 ends. Under
normal conditions, that's not a problem, but under someone-pulled-the-plug
conditions, it IS a problem.

Then just lock a record in a common data table. If either one crashes, the
lock will go away.

Hey, good idea. And I can put any messaging between the two in that record,
too.

Thanks!
